How Poor Puss Was Rescued.

st. Nicholas for July.
One beautiful summer evening, the
avenues of large.city were thronged
with people on their way to the diff
ferent churches. AT a certain corner,
however, several persons were stand
ing gazing apparently into the air.
Others soon joined them, until so
large a crowd was gathered that the
way was completely blocked.
Soon the windows along the street
were thronged with people, and a
number of persons we're cen on the
tops of the houses in the neighbor-
hood.
And what do you think they saw?
Clinging for dear life to a jutting Or
nament near the top of a tall church
steeple that pointed straight up into
the soft evening air, was a black cat.
"How did it get there?" was the
first question every n asked, and
"How will it get DOWN." was the
next. a
The poor creature was looking
down and at frequent intervals it ut
tered a pittiful cry, as if calling upon
the crowd below for help. Once it
slipped and fell a short distance down
the sloping side of the steeple,and an
exclamation Of pity came from the
crowd, now intensely interested in its
fate. Luckily the cats paws caught
on another projection and for the
moment it was safe.
Some lOoker-on suggested that it
be shot in order to save it from the
more dreadful death that seemed to
await it; but no n was willing to
fire the shot. Ere long a little win
dow some distance above the place
where the cat was clinging was seen
to open. Two boys had determined
to save it they had mounted the
stairs to where the bell hung, and
then by a ladder had reached the
window. They had taken a board
with them, and they now pushed one
end of it out of the window and low
cred it till it was in reach of the cat
Then, by encouraging words and
signs they tried to persuade the crea'
ture to step on the plank. Puss
seemed to understand, and put out
one paw, but drew it back immedi
ately and at that instant one of the
boys accidentally let go his hold, thu
board turned over and the cat would
certainly have been dashed to thu
ground had it trusted to that means
of escape.
The boys withdrew the board, anC
soon re-appearing at the window
were seen to be lowering a baske
down the side of the steeple. Pussy
having now ceased to cry, watched i
intently as it slowly came nearer ant
nearer. When it was within reach
the cat carefully put out one paw ant
took hold of the side of the basket
then as carefully repeated the actor
with the other paw, then drew itsel
up, and with a violent effort flung it
self over the side and into the bottom
of the basket. The next moment i
was safely drawn up to the window
amid loud cheers from the spectator
below.
